Its my third week struggling to install mrtg on freebsd 8.0. I will be happy if someone can provide me with a HOW TO documentation on the issue. i would like to monitor my routers(bandwidth utilisation).
View 1 Repliesi have recently installed freebsd 8.0 after using ubuntu for about a year and a half. I have installed X11 and have tried to configure it as best as i can. when i run startx i just get a black and green screen.i configured the Monitor and Screen section of my xorg.config file as follows
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"

Just a quick question as I re-familiarize myself with apt-get again. So far, have had no luck finding what I am trying to do (back to the man page) Basically, after doing a 'apt-get update' command, was it possible to see what packages have newer versions and can be upgraded?
For example, I am working with a system that has BASE 1.4.3 installed, and I know there is a newer version out (1.4.4), but want to make sure that is in the repository. Does apt-get have something similar to portmaster in FreeBSD? Where it tells you what version you have installed, and what version is available to download?
I want to install FreeBSD (PC-BSD) alongside Ubuntu 10.04 and Windows 7. I do not have a CD or a DVD or a USB key to burn the .iso, so I was thinking instead of using Grub2 to launch it.
I created an empty partition where FreeBSD will be installed (see screnshot below).
Now, where should I locate the .iso file? On my root partition? On my home partition? On the new partition (ZFS formatted)? Does it matter?
How should I set up my Grub2? I was thinking of adding this to /etc/grub.d/40_custom (if the partition where the .iso is located is /Home):
Quote:
menuentry "FreeBSD" {
insmod loopback
insmod iso9660
set isofile="~/iso/PCBSD8.0-x86-DVD.iso"
loopback loop (hd0,1)$isofile
}
Is it correct... and enough info?

Of course because of (the hated) GRUB2 it is now useless.
This is a humbling experience for a long time MS admin/tech.I am wanting to build a file server fr my home network. So, I downloaded and installed FreeBSD 8.1 last night.Wanting a more familiar interface, I downloaded and tried to install KDE. It loads and asks for language. Then I select "Install kubuntu".
The kubuntu logo and a progress meter pop up for a while. Eventually the screen goes black and nothing else happens. I have to reboot. If I take the CD out it boots to FreeBSD.Am I missing something? Kubuntu never asks anything regarding partitioning. Is FreeBSD an os like DOS and kubuntu a GUI like Win 3.1 or is kubuntu more like XP with a GUI built in to the os? If it is the latter, how do I get it to kill the FreeBSD install?"Try kubuntu without installing" does the same thing.
wanted to try out FreeBSD but I want to boot it from an ISO. I put my iso file on my first hd 3rd partition in /boot/iso/FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso. But I can't seem find anything to boot freebsd this way. Is it possible and if so how. This is what I kinda got but its not working.
Code:
menuentry "FreeBSD1" {
insmod loopback

made software which we can get network traffic Report of of Switches for Daily,monthly and yearly base , in MRTG we can configure as a switch so we can get particular switch Traffic but how can we get each port of traffic of a switch in MRTG
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently migrated my mail server over to a new machine. For some reason, after verifying that the OIDs are correct, MRTG won't graph anything. I've quadruple checked the OIDs and used the strings as well, it won't graph at all. Graphs for RAM, ethernet, packets, etc. are working. CPU is the only thing not working. They work when I use snmpwalk with them and they do populate values. The logs show unknown SNMP vars for cores 1 & 2, but there's no mention of cores 3 & 4 entries in the logs.

I had 40 gb of unused space at the beginning of my drive, then a 15gb primary ext3 partition for /, then a 100GB ext4 primary partition for /home, then a 4 gb extended partition that contains two 2 gb swap partitions.
I installed FreeBSD on the empty space at the beginning of the drive. The slice I created did not start on the first block. There were a few MB of free space before and after it.
After the installation finished (with no errors), grub would hang on the "Grub loading/Welcome to Grub screen". I booted a squeeze CD in rescue mode and reinstalled grub to /dev/sda. After rebooting, Grub still hangs at the same place.
I booted a live CD and checked the output of fdisk. For each of my partitions, it says "Partition does not end on cylinder boundary". I am hoping that whatever happened to my disk is not recoverable. Fortunately, I backed up some essential files beforehand, but I still don't really want to lose my old squeeze system.
Right now I am fscking all partitions.
I'm having trouble configuring grub2 to boot freebsd. I know how to do it in grub, but grub2 is giving me grief.
View 3 Replies View RelatedSometime in the next few weeks the office I just started working in wants me to switch their file server over to Ubuntu, from FreeBSD. I am a little scared of doing this, seeing as how I came into this job with no documentation of the network/hardware that I will be primarily working with. Does anyone have any useful tips/links that would be relevant to my task? So far, I have copied over the following files from the FreeBSD server:
/usr/local/etc/smb.conf
/usr/local/etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap_bind.conf
/usr/local/etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf
/usr/local/etc/ldap.conf
/usr/local/etc/ldap.secret
I've made an Ubuntu samba server before, so I was kind of off-put by those file locations on the FreeBSD server.

The next step is to configure mrtg for monitoring a network device. This is done by creating an mrtg.cfg file which defines what you want to monitor. Luckily, you don't have to dive straight in and start writing your own configuration file all by yourself. Together with mrtg you also got a copy of cfgmaker. This is a script you can point at a router of your choice; it will create a mrtg configuration file for you. You can find the script in the bin subdirectory.
cfgmaker --global 'WorkDir: /home/httpd/mrtg'
--global 'Options[_]: bits,growright'
--output /home/mrtg/cfg/mrtg.cfg
community@router.abc.xyz
This example above will create an mrtg config file in /home/mrtg/cfg assuming this is a directory visible on your webserver. You can read all about cfgmaker in cfgmaker. One area you might want to look at is the possibility of using --ifref=ip to prevent interface renumbering troubles from catching you.
If you want to start rolling your own mrtg configuration files, make sure you read mrtg-reference to learn all about the possible configuration options.
